Answer 1

To determine how many mini-pizzas can be made from one package of shredded cheese, we need to know how much cheese is used for each mini-pizza. However, since the exact amount is not provided in the problem, we can only provide a general approach.

Let's say each mini-pizza requires \(x\) cups of shredded cheese. Given that one package contains 2 cups of cheese, the equation to find the number of mini-pizzas (\(n\)) that can be made would be:

\[
n = \frac{2}{x}
\]

Now we can consider the options given:

- **A. 3 pizzas**: This would mean \(x = \frac{2}{3}\) cups of cheese per mini-pizza.
- **B. 6 pizzas**: This would mean \(x = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\) cups of cheese per mini-pizza.
- **C. 8 pizzas**: This would mean \(x = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}\) cups of cheese per mini-pizza.
- **D. 9 pizzas**: This would mean \(x = \frac{2}{9}\) cups of cheese per mini-pizza.

Without additional information about how much cheese is used per pizza, we can't determine a definitive answer based solely on the options provided. However, if we assume the common amounts for mini-pizzas, 1/4 cup (for option C) is a typical amount.

Thus the most reasonable choice given common serving sizes is **C. 8** mini-pizzas.
